Nismo Skyline and DKX, could you like dump school or work or whatever you do with your every day lives and just dedicate yourselves fulltime to look for cars??

Do it, turn into full-time car spotters both of you, please.

Awesome stuff lately people.

EDIT: The "Old euro car" is a Fiat (:

I basically already do.. I got kicked out of school due to personal reasons.. but yeah..

and thanks ;)
 
ah that's good news, now do the rounds in bycicle so you can get off quickly and take cool pictures of all the stuff you usually see!

EDIT: I mean, good news for the car spotting, it sucks that you are actually out of school X _ x

Haha, this town is basically all dryed up now.. 5200 people, and alot of muscle..

But I'm moving very soon, so I'll have a watchful eye out for some nice stuff. ;)
 
My 2700th post and I dont actually know what I saw today, it was a lovely, sporty looking Audi over the road. Looked nice, black wheels, white paint.

What is it?

SRT/10 Coupe, awful rims I know
This actually looks amazing, in a GRID sort of way. Great colour and stance

Was digging around old photos lately and I found a bunch of stuff I took a couple of months back in the UK. Thought they are worth uploading:

The photos were taken around central London, some posh areas; others are just, well London.
I like the green scirocco, takes courage for a driver to order it in that colour.

I mean, OMGGGGGGGGGGG!! those three posts of yours... this has to be the coolest page of the entire thread (including Rue's Mercedes, astonishing car and very good picture, man!). There is just too much awesome everywhere you seem to look, that abandoned F1 Ford 3-ton truck is TEH SHIZNIT. also, the Duster, the Challenger... everything!!!

I didn't even see you say this :lol:. Every time I have nothing to do I go out and look for cars, like today I'm going to a car show. I try to keep my open all the time. I would to quit everything and car spot, although I don't know how good that would be in the long run :lol:.

Well in that aspect you are quite a lot like me when I had nothing to do (never happens nowadays, tough), I even called friends and planed ahead and then went walking trough the city in places we knew would find old stuff. It was awesome, how I miss it, even if I still try to do it if I have a spare hour or two, but nothing beats a full day worth of tin scouting with tacos and cokes thhhrown in for good measure. Heck, I even did it with my then-girl-now-wife a couple of times, but today we dont have the time, sadly.

And Dac-Xint, the big Jeep is not just any Jeep, is a 425 hp Cherokee SRT8 with a 6.1 liter HEMI in it. Been in one at an honest 150 mph. Greatest parts-car ever produced. And the Fiar 500 picture is immense. 👍

nice spots Rue!
 
When I took the first glimpse of that yellow Murci RUE posted, the first thought that came through my mind was "Diabl... hang on..." lol. Nice spot!

Thanks Cano for that little piece of knowledge, it was worth posting after all.

The rear view on that Murci looks so badass, got pic of the ford GT ahead of it SPhilli911?
 
Sorry there is no image but I was driving to my grandparents house and in a driveway was a beautiful grey Nissan GT-R... nice bit of kit right there.

Welcome to the almighty DYSAGT thread GT_Pete. Always try and post a photo with your claim otherwise people will get on your back with the old 'pics or it didn't happen' quote - just a word of advice. For example I saw a stunning grey Ferrari 575M this morning but I didn't get a pic so I can't... oops!

bleah, bare with me, its european.

Oh, I'm certainly not worried. It's when you can't tell your Chargers from your Challengers that I'll be calling the medic. ;)


The wheels are from Alpina, so I doubt it's a CSL (which wasn't sold in the US anyway, and it would be a first-class felony to Alpina-ize a true 3.0 CSL).

NISM0_SKYLINE

I agree. I love trains of almost all types (older is better), but that era of diesel is my first image of trains. Very cool, very sleek. Much better than the efficient tinboxes today.


I have only a few today, and all are taken while on the highway. With all the good weather recently, I can't quite understand why more cars aren't out. People should be getting in their last great drives before it actually gets cold. I know I am.

BMW M3 Sedan (E36)

I thought this idea would never catch on. Technically, it didn't. Until BMW sold enough cars to get the M name out there. Now just about anything with a tri-color M badge sells.


BMW Z4 M roadster

Same engine as the Z3M, but a far better car. Heavier, and thus a bit slower, but far better resolved. An exception to the rule above, which is probably why it has been discontinued. Swapping a naturally-aspirated roadster for a twin-turbo SUV; is that the way M is really going?


Lexus LS600hL

Lexus is right; hybrids only makes sense as small sedans. Thus the upcoming hatchback is far more 'right', despite my opposition to hybrids of any kind. This, however, is a joke.


Land Rover Discovery

A rare treat: a Land Rover in its natural habitat...or is that the other way around?

We have bag fulls of them here in Hong Kong Harry. Definately a favourite of executives.

From my bike today, an eclectic mix.

That Pajero looks great! The other day I saw a long wheelbase 3rd generation in black, equiped with massive heavy duty tyres and black rims, very cool looking indeed.

Didn't know Google street view is coming to HK. Last year after getting into my crappy volvo while I was putting on my seat belt, a black Vauxhall Astra drove pass with a pole sticking out of its roof. I almost ****e myself when I saw the Google logo on the doors. In another words, I was caught in my car by the damn panorama:
